CISS versus refillable ink cartridges

[ghosthunter]

ano mas maganda? mag continuous ink system o bili na lang akko ng refillable ink cartridges.

ang ayaw ko lang sa continuous, me tank & hoses na nakikita sa labas ng printer. pag refillable ink cartridge, parang naka original set up pa rin.
when i went to cdr king ysterday mron n pala diy na refillable ink cartdge for epson t10.

any comments??

thanks

I have gone through the use of refilled cartridges and currently using CISS.

From my experience, I rather prefer the CISS solution because the refilled cartridges will require frequent replacements under heavy use. Also it costs less per page using a CISS.

Personally I don't see any value to keep the printer "original" configuration given inkjet printers have gotten ridiculously cheap. The cost of a set of black/color ink cartridges already exceeds the purchase value of the printer itself.

Only downside with the CISS is the occasional failure of the cartridge head which would require replacing it with a "new" cartridge.
